Yo Gotti calls on Young Thug for a new track, "Rihanna. " There's always room for more club bangers, and this new offering does not disappoint. Gotti has found his leading lady and she's fine like the baddest in hip-hop. He's all about flexing in the club and spending racks, so long as he's got his beautiful woman on his arm...

By now, it's no secret that Gucci Mane has remained prolific while behind bars (thanks in no small part to his exceptional team).

After his self-titled debut failed to deliver a follow-up single comparable to "Pump It Up," Joe Budden took matters into his own hands. Eschewing his Def Jam deal (and the label purgatory into which it threw he and his sophomore set, The Growth), Budden spent the mid- and late-2000s carving out a niche for himself as a truth-telling mixtape star, who flitted back and forth between color

August Alsina drops the video to his new single "Hip-Hop." After a roller coaster 2014, which found the former XXL Freshman as one of the brightest young faces in music after his impressive debut album Testimony dropped and him in a three day coma after he fell off stage at SOBs in New York City, unveiled the video at the BET Awards pre-show. The ode to the music ge...
